hattie carthan herban farm

Yesterday I walked past the Hattie Carthan Herban Farm on Van Buren and there was a warm scene – literally – a bonfire and drum circle. When I googled the garden lot, I learned that Yonette Fleming and some of the same folks I met years ago at the Hattie Carthan Community Garden are the driving forces behind this newer annex. With these two gardens sharing the same name, you might ask, ‘Who is Hattie Carthan?’ She was an important leader in this community … to learn more about her, check out the Magnolia Tree Earth Center.
